Awesome Results

I hired Mark to help me clear a speeding ticket and a moving violation a few months back. He was informative, punctual and was able to clear both violations. Not too pricey either. Overall, a great outcome.

The Nicest lawyer In New York.

I worked with Mr. Macron during a very low point in my life. Not only is he a great lawyer, but he is also a compassionate man.

Real estate lawyer | May 31

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. He can handle the tough cases (see his other areas of expertise), but he is also versatile enough to handle real estate matters ranging from routine closings to complicated contract disputes and litigation. The strongest endorsement I can give him would be to say that I would send my friends and family to him, and I would use him as a lawyer for myself."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
